1C Company announces a release date for Space Rangers HD: A War Apart,
saying the space combat overhaul will launch worldwide on Steam on October
17th. Here's the pitch:

Space Rangers HD: A War Apart remasters and
enhances the world of the cult Space Rangers 2. The game was developed by the
SNK-Games team in close cooperation with fans of the series. New story branch,
upgrades, equipment, planetary battles and famous text adventures expand the
boundaries of the already lush universe of the game in every direction, roughly
doubling the game content.

The game has also received a major technical overhaul to for seamless
compatibility with modern OSes. Game art was reworked to support display
resolutions of up to 1920×1200 and planetary battles employ modern render
technologies.

Yeah, I got it at the original release and just didn't know what to make of it...Is it a 4x, an RTS, a turn-based strategy, an RPG...WHAT?! I played it for a while but the blending of all these different (and seemingly unmixable) genres kinda left me cold and confused...

Yeeesssss! I LOVED this game. It was far from perfect but it had such a unique blend of genres that was addictive as hell once you got past the initial learning curve. I wish they made a Space Rangers 3 instead of a remake but I'll take what I can get.

Space Rangers 2: reboot was released a few years ago.

Space Rangers 2 is a sequel to the first; it surpassed the original but the first still has its charm. SR2 Reboot added all that stuff to the sequel. To my knowledge there has never been an update to the original prior to this one.
